<STRONG>How to read</STRONG> this table.  The columns are
<DL COMPACT>
<DT>1st:<DD>textual <EM>description</EM> of the character
<DT>2nd:<DD>character inserted directly into the HTML page as <EM>one
            byte</EM>
<DT>3rd:<DD>character written as <EM>numeric HTML entity</EM>, in the
            format:<BR>"how it looks literally" <CODE>--&gt;</CODE>
            "what your browser does with it"
<DT>4th:<DD>character written as <EM>symbolic HTML entity</EM>, in the
            format:<BR>"how it looks literally" <CODE>--&gt;</CODE>
            "what your browser does with it"
</DL>

So for example, if you see something like "<CODE>&amp;divide; -->
&amp;divide;</CODE>" in the 4th column, this means your browser
doesn't know about the entity name "divide" and just puts it
literally.

<P>
<STRONG>This table</STRONG> grew out of an overview of the "ISO
Latin-1 Character Set" overview related to the Hyper-G Text Format
(<A HREF="http://www.hyperwave.de/HTFdoc">HTF</A>).

The entity names <CODE>&amp;brkbar;</CODE> and <CODE>&amp;Dstrok;</CODE>
seem to be unique to HTF.

The entity name <CODE>&amp;hibar;</CODE> has been supported by X Mosaic
but seems to be replaced with <CODE>&amp;macr;</CODE>.

The entity names <CODE>&amp;uml;</CODE> and <CODE>&amp;die;</CODE> should
be equivalent.

<P><STRONG>The standards stuff:</STRONG>
The 
<A HREF="http://www.w3.org/hypertext/WWW/MarkUp/html-spec/">HTML 2.0 Standard</A>
includes a section on
<A HREF="http://www.w3.org/hypertext/WWW/MarkUp/html-spec/html-spec_9.html#SEC99">Character Entity Sets</A>
and an overview on the
<A HREF="http://www.w3.org/hypertext/WWW/MarkUp/html-spec/html-spec_13.html#SEC106">HTML Coded Character Set</A>
(The entity names are derived from <A HREF="http://www.ucc.ie/info/net/isolat1.html">ISO 8879</A>).
<BR>

Or have a look at the
<A HREF="http://www.w3.org/hypertext/WWW/MarkUp/html3/latin1.html">Latin-1 Character Entities</A>
as listed in an draft for the
<A HREF="http://www.w3.org/hypertext/WWW/MarkUp/html3/CoverPage.html">HTML 3.0 specification</A>.
<BR>

The
<A HREF="http://www.w3.org/hypertext/WWW/MarkUp/HTMLPlus/htmlplus_59.html">Appendix II</A>
of CERN's
<A HREF="http://www.w3.org/hypertext/WWW/MarkUp/HTMLPlus/htmlplus_1.html">HTML+ Discussion Document</A>
contains a
<A HREF="http://www.w3.org/hypertext/WWW/MarkUp/HTMLPlus/htmlplus_table.ps">table</A>
(in PostScript format) of the proposed character entities for HTML+ and their
corresponding character codes for Unicode and the Adobe Latin-1 &amp; Symbol
character sets.
<P>

<STRONG>Please note</STRONG> that there is nothing wrong with using
characters of ISO Latin-1 above 127: the normal transmission protocol
for the WWW,
<A HREF="http://www.w3.org/pub/WWW/Protocols/rfc1945/rfc1945">HTTP/1.0</A>,
uses the 8bit ISO latin-1 as default encoding.
